Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 758

Chapter 758 Lipstick Stain

“What’s the matter, Mrs. Clinton?” Jolin returned with food and saw Amelia staring blankly at her computer screen. Amelia returned to her senses and shook her head. “It’s nothing. What did you get for me?”

“They’re all your favorites, Mrs. Clinton.” Jolin opened up the takeaway boxes and said, “Eat first, okay? You’re straining yourself. If Mr. Clinton sees it, his heart will ache for you.”

Amelia picked up a fork and got Jolin to sit next to her. After giving Jolin a fork, she said, “Eat with me. I’m not straining myself. This is something I love doing. It would be a shame to stop doing something I love, no?”

Jolin felt rather helpless. Undeniably, Amelia looked even more attractive when she was focused on work. After they ate, Amelia went back to work.

She was kept busy until around five in the evening. That was when she was summoned into Shane’s office. “Did you want to see me, Mr. Franklin?” At work, that was how Amelia addressed Shane. Shane waved her over. “Have a seat.”

Amelia walked toward him and sat down. Shane crossed his arms and expressed, “I’m sorry for your loss, Amelia. I’m not good with words, so I don’t know how to comfort you. However, I’m glad you’re back at work. With you back here, I know I have another trustworthy person I can work with.”

Amelia flashed a half-smile. “I’m all right. Of course, I’m deeply saddened by my mother’s passing, but she passed away peacefully without suffering. I’m grateful for that.” Nevertheless, she had some regrets as she didn’t get to talk to Eleanor before the latter passed away.

“It’s good that you can come to terms with it. In fact, you look well. How’s everything? Are you coping well after being away for a couple of months?”

Amelia nodded. “I can manage.”

Without wasting any more time, Shane whipped out a document and said, “This is an advertisement project from Atlas Corporation. Have a look at it. I’m planning to get you to design for them. If you can do that, your reputation overseas will grow. I believe in your abilities.”

Amelia flipped through the document and remarked, “This is huge! Why did Atlas Corporation choose us? I thought they’d get someone bigger than us to work with. After all, they’re well known in the country.”

“Because of you, Mr. Clinton gave us the opportunity to work with them. He worked hard to give you the chance to get exposure in the Erihal market. You must be happy with what your husband is willing to do for you!” Shane laughed.

Amelia was startled. Never did she expect Oscar to do that for her. Since Clinton Corporations lobbied for the project, Atlas Corporation wouldn’t need to worry about offending Clinton Corporations when they expand into the market in Tayhaven. No wonder we got the chance to work on something so big.

“I’ll do it. However, I won’t be able to achieve much on my own. I need help from some colleagues in the design department. After all, we’re a team,” Amelia suggested.

“That’s up to you. I won’t interfere with your decisions,” Shane answered gladly.

“Mr. Franklin, you shouldn’t spoil me. What if I take advantage of your trust and sell off your company? You will lose everything!” Amelia uttered in a half-joking manner.

“Will you do that?” Shane was amused.

Amelia didn’t respond to that.

“All right. Get back to work, okay? Let me know if you need anything,” Shane said.

“Okay. I shall go now.”

Before Amelia stepped out of the door, Shane suddenly called out to her. “Amelia, Chelsea made this for you. This will provide your body with the nutrition it needs. Take it.”

Amelia walked toward him and asked, “What is it?”

“Some supplements. She heard about your miscarriage, and she has been worried about you. I told her the Clinton family will have everything you need, but she said it’s a gesture of kindness. Please accept it.”

Amelia felt touched. “Please thank her for me.”

Shane nodded.

Amelia then left his office and took the elevator to the design department.

Upon seeing her, Jolin asked, “Mrs. Clinton, why did Mr. Franklin ask for you?”

“He gave me an advertising job to do. Also, his wife had prepared some supplements for me.”

Jolin took the supplements and said, “Mrs. Clinton, I’ll keep them safe for you.”

Amelia nodded.
